These are replication files for Gottlieb and Kosec's 2019 APSR "The Countervailing Effects of Competition on Public
Goods Provision: When Bargaining Inefficiencies Lead to Bad Outcomes".

The main .do file that produces most tables and figures is CommuneAnalyses_GK_Replication.do. The main dataset this calls in is MaliCommune_data.dta. For transparency, we include the code used to produce the main independent variables (ConstructIVs.do) and the main dependent variables (ConstructDVs.do).  

Subsidiary .do files and datasets that create other tables and figure are: 
- CrossCountryAnalyses_GK_Replication.do reproduces the cross-country analysis and uses merged cross-national data from a variety of sources cited in the file available in CrossCountryMerge.dta.

- Pre-electionAnalyses_GK_Replication.do uses data from an original survey of elected local councilors in Mali, pre-election_merged.dta.

- ABprefindex_GK_Replication.do which uses geo-coded data from Mali that are available from Afrobarometer upon request.
